ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Molecular studies of species across a wide range of habitats are accumulating; opening the door to new opportunities for comparative studies of molecular adaptation. We inferred phylogenetic relationships for 5 of about 43 species for cytochrome b as protein marker. RESULTS: Corresponding phylogenetic trees were reconstructed from analysis of combined data using maximum likelihood method. Several agreements with the traditional classification were found. Previously hypothesized classifications were well supported. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that Neptis hylus and Mycelius mineus shows overall correlation and belongs to the same family nymphalidiae, whereas Ixias preen, Caporal nerissa and caterpillar Pomona belongs to same family pieridae. FUTURE ASPECTS: There is a need to study the phylogenetic relationship using different protein markers and advanced softwares.

KEYWORDS: TADOBA, CYTOCHROME b, etc.
